Chapter 401 

“I can help you with it. But I can’t say if the other masters will respect you enough and do the same, though.” 

“They will,” Nash replied confidently. 

It was midnight. The nine Golden Robed Heavenly Masters of Drakonia rented helicopters and flew in nine different directions toward the Nine Absolute Mountains through the night. Weather manipulation was a high level Path technique that required the joint efforts of the nine masters. 

It was a technique where they communicated with the energies of heaven and earth to gather rain clouds from areas with more rain to other specific areas. This Path technique consumed a great deal of cultivation and was permanent. 

They would not use it easily unless it was absolutely necessary. 

The nine Golden Robed Heavenly Masters all owed a debt of gratitude to Nash, and today was the time for them to repay that debt. 

The next day, the sun was shining brightly. 

Melody opened the window and stretched lazily. She remembered what Nash had said 

yesterday and hummed. “Hmm, they said we’d get long, heavy rain. Looks like they were just bragging…” 

“I don’t think Nash is the kind of person who brags,” Heidi said. She came to the window and gazed upon the horizon with sparkling eyes, adding, “The sky is dark, and some areas are still raining. That must be where the Nine Absolute River is.” 

“Are you saying that it’s still raining around the Nine Absolute River?” 

“I don’t know about that.” 

Come the third day and the sun was still shining brightly. Madam Lunaris’ son had bought a large amount of easy-to-carry meals from the nearby county. With bags large and small on their backs, Nash and his group hit the road, scaling mountain after mountain. 

Then came the sun set, its glow falling upon Nico’s weary face. 

“I can’t go on… I really can’t walk anymore. Let’s take a break!” 

Nico unloaded his backpack and threw it on the ground before grabbing a bottle of mineral water and chugging eagerly. 

“You brat, we just rested three hours ago. You’re even worse off than me and I’m an old man!”  sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNovᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Bradley scolded. 

Derek leaned on his knees, panting heavily as he replied, “Mr. Bradley, you’re a martial artist. How can our stamina be compared to yours?”” 

Seeing that Heidi and Xeno were also showing signs of fatigue, Nash spoke up. “Let’s take a short break” 

Everyone gathered together to drink water and rest. While they were resting, Finn said, “The 

Nine Absolute River is just three kilometers ahead. Ken and I will go ahead and take a look.” 

With their ample stamina, the two of them quickly ran ahead. 

Bradley sat on the ground and smoked a cigarette. 

On another route, a tourist group had found their path blocked by a riverbed about 20 meters wide. The bearded man fished out a map and examined it, saying, “Strange. The Nine Absolute River is suddenly flowing again despite having been dried up for the past hundred years. The rainfall yesterday shouldn’t have been enough to get the river flowing again, no?” 

“Can’t we use the waterway?” someone asked. 

The bearded man shook his head and replied, “We can’t. There are many cliffs downstream. There’s also Swamp Valley and Soul-Splitting Ridge. No one in history has ever crossed these two places.” 

“Let’s not waste time and cross the river. We have to meet with Anders and the others within four days.” 

With that said, they took out grappling hooks from their backpacks, attached a rope to them, and threw the rope across to the other side. The hooks latched firmly onto the trunk of a big 

tree. 

Then, they tied the other end of the rope to a rock. Attaching a pulley on the rope, they gripped it with both hands and traversed the river. Their actions were skilled and indicated their experience with such matters. 

Nash and the others rested for about ten minutes when Finn and Ken returned excitedly, saying, “T-There’s a lot of water!”
